Description

The message generated by options.php when the options page is not in the whitelist is "Error: options page not found". This message is so generic that it provides the plug-in developer with no clue as to what needs to be addressed. A more useful message would be "Error: options page X not found in whitelist."

This seems like a welcome change to me. It's only a small modification that adds some useful information for people who stumble across this error while developing their options pages.

Changed from defect to enhancement.
